The Dr thinks Craig may have Lymes disease...why the other 2 doctor's didn't think of that when they saw the enormous bullseye rash we'll never know.
He had a bunch of bloodwork done for Lymes and a couple of other tick borne illnesses. Also had an EKG and the ticker looks great. He started an antibiotic for Lymes and should feel better in 36 hours...if it is Lymes. We hope they caught it in time and I hope he starts to feel better soon. It's hard to see him so tired all the time.
Mason is sleeping at my parents tonight. We thought Craig was going to be admitted, so they took Mason. I called to say "goodnight" and the first thing he said was "What time do I go to bed?" and he was all revved up. Had a dilly bar with Nana and Pop after 7:00pm....they will all be up until at least 10:00 now. He told Nana he "always goes to bed at 10:30". He was sooooo excited to go. He loves his Nana and Pop!
Mason's room is all back together now. And he loves it and so do I!! His curtains and comforter go well with the color. Of course last night he was cranky and overly tired and said "I want a yellow room not a green room". It will be nice to have him back in his room.
How did they do it during the "Little House on the Praire "days? Living in one room homes or 2 room homes? God knew what He was doing by letting me be around in the 20 th and 21st Century. Caroline I am not!!!
At the grocery store they had some scary witch figures out..the kind with the really wrinkled faces (look like the dried apples) and Mason said if he ever saw one in real life he would "cut it's head off". Ahhh, I didn't know what to say to that one, so I changed the subject. But then, the empathetic and compassionate side of him came out and he said "Mom, those people shouldn't use those decorations. A baby might see it and be scared and have nightmares." He is always thinking of others who are younger than him. My little sweetie.
While we were working on his costume yesterday he said "Mom! What if a 2 year old takes these glasses off of my face?!?!" He isn't too thrilled with 2 year olds!! We had a couple in the house this summer who were very confident, adventurous, and physically bossy, so he is always scheming against the 2 year olds. Any important "document" or "artifact" has to go up high or in a secret place so a "2 year old doesn't get it". We'll see what happens when his brother is 2 years old.
Mason is also into jokes right now. It is so fun. And he is into the gag jokes. He has this gag that looks like a spilled shake and he has had so much fun with it. What a hoot!!
Must be having a hormonal minute because I want to go on and on about how much I love the little guy and just how incredible he is. I get worried about the baby coming sometimes, because I will miss all this alone time with Mason, and I worry that I won't be able to love the new little guy as much as I love Mason...because that seems almost impossible..even though friends reassure me it isn't. Well, this is getting sappy. I'll journal the rest here at home.

After Labor Day weekend, I had to bring Ginger into the vet ($$$) because she had not been eating. It had been about a week since she had eaten an entire bowl of food; and that is odd for her. Turned out that she had a tick-bourne illness (not Lymes;she is vaccinated for that). The antibiotics helped right away....and then we found out she had low estrogen. I haven't been to the vet in about a month, tho.
When I was pregnant with Alyssa, I remember feeling very guilty that I was upsetting Justin's life with a sibling. Guilt. Guilt. Guilt. Hey, if he didn't have a younger brother or sister, there would have been no one to blame for everything.
See you in a few hours.....
Hopefully Craig's estrogen levels are OK :)
What is it with all the guilt while being a mom? But it's nice to know I'm not the only one who has it. Can't wait to see you!
Mason had made your bed yesterday because he was so excited you are staying the night. He worked on it for at least 30 minutes. i think there were about 6 blankets on there...but I had to wash them because Craig had been sleeping in the bed and at that time,I didn't know they were thinking tick illness. AndI meant to take a picture, but I forgot. But it was very sweet and he did and incredible job!!
Sooooooooooooo what are the results of Craigs tests???? I'm hoping at the time I'm writing this he is feeling much better. I hope Cathy took a few pictures to share with the camera she was going to but.
And how is your mom, Jolee??

There is no $$$$ in the coffers for a new camera. Tell the Canadian gov't that they should back off on the 35% taxes, and, then, I should be able to get a camera....
No results on the tests yet. For whatever reason, the lab didn't test for Lymes, so Craig went in this a.m. for another blood draw. the other tick illness results should be in a couple days. He is starting to feel a little better and didn/t have a fever today. 1st day without a fever in 18 days.
Had a great time with Cathy, I'll blog it tomorrow...too tired tonight.
